Both trees very poor condition - see 2d sheet.
1925, 9/28.  Noted that spec. were about the poorest of
the var. ever seen in this office.  were small, heavily
russetted, likely spray injury - very indifferent in every
way. Sept 27, 1927. Spec. this year fairly good for var. see below

Characterization:
Based on 1927 specimens:
Spec. well finished, fairly good size, perhaps a 
little below typical size; same spec oblate conic
but more are roundish conic, a few slightly
elongated.  Ground color yellow with fair
amount of char.  blush on some spec.
Dots numerous,some <s>depressed</s> submerged,
whitish, minute almost imperceptible; also some
brownish, slightly raised and rather conspicuous
on yellow surface.  Flesh yellowish fine grain,
firm fairly juicy. Mildy acid. at its best
it is a good qual. but rather variable.  A
little water core.
